The String Quartet

In general, Anton Rubinstein and the younger Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky are both seen as Russian composers who were mainly focussed on the musical developments in Western Europe and, ‘therefore’, less on their own Russian culture. As far as Tchaikovsky is concerned, this is a misrepresentation which becomes apparent when we successively listen to works of both composers, like String Quartet No. 2 by Rubinstein from 1852/1853 and String Quartet No. 1 by Tchaikovsky from 1871.
